VANDYKE AND THE BAMBISDoin' The Mod(Les Vandyke)
UK 1964
Original version

Single on Picadilly. According to AMG, an obscure British band teamed with songwriter Les Vandyke: my hunch (and it is only a hunch) is that this is a studio band.

British songwriter, singer and film composer Les Vandyke (b. Yani Skoradalides, 1931) also used the names John Skoradalides, Johnny Worth and John Worsley. He wrote many well-known songs of the 60s and 70s including significant hits for Adam Faith (What Do You Want, Poor Me) and Eden Kane (Well I Ask You, Forget Me Not). Ex-ShadowsJet Harris & Tony Meehan had a UK hit with his Applejack (1963, #4 UK).
